What is your personal experience with DAV?

Is it providing all of these services adequately across the country?

DAV Services:

DAV assists over a million veterans annually through their services, including helping them navigate the complex VA claims process to access earned benefits.

DAV actively lobbies on behalf of veterans in Congress to improve legislation related to benefits and healthcare access.

They provide local support networks and transportation services to help veterans access VA medical appointments.

DAV is recognized for its strong commitment to veterans and has a high rating from charity evaluators.

Thank you,

COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
CEO,
Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)

My local VSO is a DAV person, she has helped me review my Medical information to make sure I had valid claims, file initial claims and also with the paperwork for the claim that was denied. With her help my claim was eventually awarded in my favor.

Life member. They helped with my Agent Orange claims. Have a 8 AM appointment with VES tommorow. Veteran Evaluation Services. They set this up for me. Had a few cancer surgeries recently. I wish someone would have told me about the travel pay though. I lost claims from August to December. They only go back 30 days. I received 9 travel checks in the mail yesterday. The VA lost my banking info but now it's ok. VA disability compensation and travel pay are separate when it comes to banking info.
